We have always charged this fee, all regions do. It is usually just included in the normal fees.

This fee covers annual expenses per player, at both local and national levels.

Based on how our system is structured, it is more efficient for our processing if we split this fee out.

For your benefit, it helps prevent us from charging the once-a-year fee a second time.

Birth Certificates / age verification

If you are new to AYSO (and often even if you aren't) you may be asked to provide proof of age for the player.

You can check if you need this. Click on [Print player form] from the eAYSO home screen. (You don't need to print, just look.) At the bottom right of page one, there is a box that says DOB Verification. If this is empty or N, you should provide proof of age.
